31 Jul 2020 --- Prebiotics can stimulate the production of beneficial probiotics in the gut, which in turn contributes to overall health and immunity against viral infections. This is according to Dr. Fernando Schved, Vice President of R&D, Support & CSO at Galam, who speaks to NutritionInsight about the company’s short chain Fructo-Oligosaccharides (sc-FOS) ingredient GOFOS and how it can promote a healthy gut. “Colon microbiota contributes to our well-being by activating either directly or indirectly certain colon immunity components,” he explains.
